This is one of my favorite things to do...go to family reunions...growing up second generation Chinese American had a lot of perks; a really close-knit family, lots of extended Chinese 'aunts' & 'uncles' (ah-yi's & tsu-tsu's), lots of unique cultural traditions to blend with American ones, no random second uncles to worry about if I ever win the lottery...but, family reunions were not one of the advantages.
This year was the Christensens' turn to organize all the fun...and they did NOT disappoint!
We went down to Provo park and had so much good food!!!! You gotta love that third picture of the 'after eating belly...' actually, that's just Corbin's belly after Becky fed him her milk of gold!!
We played games...Jared & Kristee organized the games under the theme of the game show 'In it To Win it.' Each family was a team...Christensens, Carliles, Michealis & Phillips. With Jim & Julie out on business, Annie & Bryan on vaca, Adam & Camille using the 'we just had a baby' excuse (and seriously, I used that for, like, a year...best excuse out there), Geoff & Jody unable to make it and Carli & Chuck at a Jarvis family reunion our team was down to three (and Max just barely got running down)...but still Eric and I each won our respective events...go team Phillips!!! Represent!!!
Everybody had so much fun and were all willing to be subjected to great embarrassment! 
They launched water balloons...cute Cooper...super Coop!!!
They had stilts...Eric was very impressive on them...of course, the most impressive had to be Jay Dale!!!
I have to admit, I had quite a bit of trepidation about Jay getting on those death sticks...until I saw how at ease he was on them...a natural!

Um, new baby + a three hour drive over south pass...you forgot to include that. Looks like a lot of fun. sorry we missed out.
Great pictures from the reunion. That was a fun time, and the rest of the Phillips family really missed out not being there. I agree that Adam is just lazy for not making the 3 hour drive over south pass. :)
By the way, the game show is called "minute to win it". But maybe we could start a new game show called "in it to win it", that is catchy.
